Default 13 VDC switch

Yeah,

13V cuttoff sounds right. Most charging systems go to at least 13.5
volts and batteries seldom settle near 13 when not charging. 1 ma is
fine. FET? is that what it takes? Its gota work for low and high loads
same...

What do you want the cutoff voltage to be? Personally, I'd pick 13.0 volts,
but it is child's play to do any voltage you want.

There will be about a milliampere of quiescent current for the sensor that
will still be on-line when the output shuts off.
